NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

Reba Sherrill was billed more than $13,000 for legal work she said she didn’t want or need.

The News 4 I-Team has learned that bill is being reduced by order of the court.

One of the items on the bill was a charge of more than $400 for Cathryn Armistead, a court-appointed lawyer, to pick up groceries at Whole Foods.

“Do you know how much food she bought? It was half a bag! Half a bag!” Sherrill said.

Armistead charged $175 an hour to shop and deliver the food. It doesn’t include the cost of the groceries.

Legal bills started to mount up when Vanderbilt University Medical Center went to court last year to get a conservator approved for Sherrill. They said she had borderline personality disorder and couldn’t care for herself.
